Everyone laughed and said, "Chang Sheng, you are too worried!" Cao Guangjiu's crime is: talking about politics in vain has nothing to do with insulting Shaohu Gong. ”

Kang Pengzu was still not at ease: "...... said so?"

Everyone pushed him and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to Zhenheng together, and there are good things for you to see!" ”

Kang Pengzu was surrounded by people and returned to the back room, but when he saw that Xu Yuanchun was still meditating, he didn't speak. Everyone else couldn't wait, and they all disturbed Xu Yuanchun to "return to his soul".

Xu Yuanchun's face was blank: "I'm about to enter the market, and you guys are still making such a fuss." ”

"That's great news, you have to hear it." Everyone turned to Hai Rui's copy of the "Gusu Times" and the arrest of Cao Guangjiu and the main writer. Seeing Xu Yuanchun's expressionless face, he knew that he couldn't be amused, so he took out a thin post and said, "It was this post that killed Cao Guangjiu with one blow and put Cao Guangjiu into a place where there was no place to be buried." ”

Kang Pengzu couldn't hold his breath, snatched it away, and unfolded it, but it was not an article at all.

"What kind of unveiling post is this...... Kang Pengzu was stunned: "This is clearly an excerpt ......"

On this thin post, the chapters and sentences of the "Gusu Times" were copied in neat small letters. Or a paragraph, or a sentence. The long ones are hundreds of words, and the short ones are only about a dozen words. Under each chapter and sentence, there is an issue number - this is what Cao Guangjiu learned from "Quyuan Miscellaneous Tan", and he doesn't know what it is for. But after he saw this post, he instantly understood.

The issue, date, layout, title of the article, and author are all bitten, and it is very simple and accurate to find the original source of the chapter.

Even if no one is willing to look for it, just seeing such a long list of "sources" will make me believe it in my heart.

Kang Pengzu looked at the excerpts of these chapters and sentences, and gradually began to bend to the debate between the income of the acres and the income of commerce, from emphasizing the cliché of "ploughing and reading is the foundation of the practice". Because the contributors to the Gusu Times are not a group, there is no communication between them. Some people speak fiercely, and occasionally have some emotional venting. Cao Guangjiu himself probably didn't pay attention to it, but he was dug up one by one by the author of this exposé, which became ironclad evidence for attacking commercial income.

If you only see this, you can't call it "sin." Because agriculture is the foundation of the country, this is an axiom that does not need to be demonstrated. Even the most radical Taizhou school only emphasized that commerce as the last industry was also the cornerstone of the country, and did not mean to challenge the "fundamental" status of agriculture with commerce.

Kang Pengzu continued to look down, but he gasped: Cao Guangjiu dared to regard the imperial court's tax collection as the culprit!

There is more explanation later: because the imperial court grain tax only levied silver, the grain households and squires were forced to sell the market after collecting the grain, exchange it for silver money, and then pay the tax. This is clearly forcing all farmers to "do business" - in any case, buying and selling is a commercial activity, which is irrefutable.

Doesn't that mean. Not only are the princes of the court corrupt, but they should also be mainly responsible for the corruption of the world!

This vicious attack was written in editorials for five days in a row, methodically, interlockingly, and layer by layer. Just reading the article may ignore the sinister intentions of this fang, at this moment, everyone with a discerning eye has copied it out one by one, and when you read it, it will be immediately revealed to the world.

"What a deliberate effort!" Kang Pengzu sighed. I don't know who I'm talking about.

Xu Yuanchun couldn't help but come over a long time ago, and read faster than Kang Pengzu. After reading the last line, he frowned and said: "Gaoxin Zheng and Zhang Jiangling are both promoting a whip law, plus the examination method, which are the two pillars of the new policy of this dynasty. This Cao Guangjiu has eaten bear heart and leopard gall for a long time? A grass folk dare to attack the government? ”

A few of the people who came to report sneered: "If he is a grass man, there may be a way to live." He's just a student! ”

In the thirtieth year of Hongwu, when Zhu Yuanzhang was rectifying the Guozijian. It has been repeatedly emphasized that students are not allowed to discuss politics and slander teachers. To this end, he also made a detailed explanation: Whether it is an official in the court, a virtuous person in the opposition, or even a person of all colors who is "a man with lofty ambitions, a simple farmer, and a businessman's skills", he can write a book to discuss the gains and losses of the government, and the government at all levels must not stop it. "But the living are not allowed." If anyone dares to violate this order, after the head is taken, the head is hung on the flagpole in front of the gate of the national prison. It wasn't until the time of Wu Zong that he said "Is the school an execution ground" and removed the rule of hanging the pole, but it is still a very taboo thing for students to discuss politics.

In the Ming Dynasty, people without fame can discuss politics at will, either as officials, or as politicians - in more than ten years, they can also scold the emperor. The most unhuman rights are "students", and Cao Guangjiu, a boot-breaking party, happens to be a student.

The seizure of "Gusu Times" and the arrest of Cao Guangjiu made people quite relieved, and all the Songjiang candidates were smiling. Especially when I thought that in the future, Gusu Shizi could only hold the "Quyuan Miscellaneous Tan" published by Songjiang to vassal elegance, and I was even more happy.

I have to say that in the courtyard painting boat, carriage and horse teahouse, take out a newspaper anytime and anywhere, and use the scattered time to read two paragraphs, which is quite a bit of a "three more than three up" legacy ah.

Xu Yuanchun was born in the Zaifu family, but he became more and more suspicious about it. If Xu Yuanzuo was in Songjiang, he would definitely suspect that this was a good thing that Xu Yuanzuo did. But Xu Yuanzuo obviously hasn't come back yet, who has this means? The shot is ruthless, the rank is also high, and there is no one-word evaluation of the entire unveiling post, all of which are made by "Gusu Times" in black and white.

To say that someone can read the newspaper so carefully, or if he is unforgettable, and he is extremely sensitive to the government...... Xu Yuanchun didn't believe it if he was killed. "Gusu Times" has become a daily magazine recently, the first is the tenth daily, and later changed to the fifth day, and there are several issues that have not been published on time, no matter how good the memory is, it is impossible for people to remember it!

"Obviously there is an enemy." Kang Pengzu also saw the strangeness and whispered to Xu Yuanchun.

Xu Yuanchun nodded.

Kang Pengzu laughed: "No matter who does it, it can only be said that it is beautiful!" Let's go, this matter deserves a drink! Uh, Zhenheng, you forget it, take care of the book, and wait for the end. I'll just go with all of you. ”

Xu Yuanchun said secretly: You are much more sensible now.

He smiled and said, "Today I am the east, and you will treat me as a guest." He now has a few times his monthly silver, and Xu Yuanzuo also sent a few hundred taels directly to him in the name of "scholarship". This is clean and traceable on the books, but only a check of the bottom sheet can tell who received the money. Xu Fan now has special trust in Xu Yuanzuo, and will never check the bottom list. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you find it, you can say at most: nonsense. Maybe I have to be glad for the deep relationship between Yuan Chun and Yuan Zuo.

Even so, it's a bit of a public advantage - of course. Xu Yuanchun didn't feel that he had any problem with taking this silver as the grandson of the eldest house. Besides, he is the best learner! Being able to qualify for the township examination is proof in itself.

After having enough money, Xu Yuanchun used the silver to be almost the same as Kang Pengzu. It's just that he has received 20 years of "thrifty education", and he will not be as nonsense as Kang Pengzu and other gentlemen.

Nanjing's side soon fell silent, as if a trivial incident had happened.

Suzhou is still boiling.

Cai Guoxi did not fool Weng Hongnong, he did send the "Gusu Times" to Beijing. Through his own study, the private Beijing office of foreign officials, it was handed over to Gao Gong. Gao Gong was also quite proud to get this newspaper, and felt that Cai Guoxi was not protected in vain, and he could only use it when the time was ripe.

Who knew that the situation suddenly changed, and the unveiling post first spread among the Beijing Division.

After Gao Gong saw this post, his face turned blue. specially ordered a friend to find the "Gusu Times" to verify them one by one, and there was not a single word wrong. Reading through the full text, it is difficult to say that it is taken out of context. In this way, the crime of Cai Guoxi's connivance cannot be escaped - the imperial court will certainly not require a military constitution to assume the obligation to monitor speech. It was purely Gao Gong's selfishness that labeled Cai Guoxi as "incompetent and hateful".

The earliest time to promote a whip method can be traced back to the time when Yan Song was in power, and then Xu Jie took over, and the drumming and passing flowers generally passed to Zhang Juzheng. No matter how the cabinet fights, no matter how the central cabinet and the local governors argue, a whip law is always moving slowly. Zhang Juzheng even did not hesitate to check his own family for this reason, starting from his own family to clear the acres of land and lead by example. Everyone firmly believes that a whip law is to reduce the burden of the people. The good law that improved the revenue of the treasury was also a good cure for the diseases of the empire. Taxation is uniformly levied in currency. It is the core content of a whiplash.

To say that attacking a whip law is attacking the national policy is really not wronged at all.

When Zhang Juzheng found Gao Gong with the post, Gao Gong readily gave his opinions: first, copy the "Gusu Times", and all the newspapers published were taken back and burned; arrest of the main writers; Find out who is the proprietor of the newspaper and see who is going to get along with the court; At last. instructed the governor Ying Tianhairui and Li Shaoxian, who was directly in the south, to re-clear the acres of land in Suzhou.

Gao Gong said: "If this matter is not suppressed by thunderous means, I don't know how many governors will make trouble." ”

Now the southern governor has basically accepted a whip law, and Shandong in the north has also said that it can be tried on a trial basis, but Shanxi has not yet nodded. In particular, the Jin Governor Wang Chonggu is a stubborn stone. However, after Wang Chonggu inspected Ningxia for 43 years from Jiajing, he first served as the governor of Shaanxi, Yan, Ning, and Gansu, and this year he was reappointed as the governor of Shanxi, Xuan, and Da military affairs. The Ming Dynasty is an important town on the nine borders, and he has experienced seven towns and honored the border. Now he is presiding over the matter of paying tribute, and the Holy Grace is long. This "Gusu Times" was simply published for his opposition to a whip law.

Zhang Juzheng also saw this undercurrent surging in the south, and seconded: "Jiangnan is originally a tax field of the imperial court, so it must not be chaotic. ”

Before Hai Rui took office, Suzhou claimed to have completed the clearing of the fields, which made it difficult for him to verify the Qingzhang. This time, with the support of the court and the cabinet, it is just the right time to re-clear it with great fanfare. The gentry of Suzhou complained for a long time, and mobilized their connections in Beijing, but they were also powerless to return to the sky - which of Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng was easy to talk to?

After Cao Guangjiu got the news, before he could pack up his baggage, the fast shift catcher of the government office had already rushed in and tied him up. It is useless to let him shout that he is famous. Everyone knows that Cao Xiucai will soon be unqualified to wear a square scarf and a shirt. The magistrate of Wu County is very active in practicing literature and learning Taoism in Zhejiang, and wants to reform his fame.

Hai Jui personally sat in the prefect's yamen and interrogated the main culprit.

Cao Guangjiu was a boot-breaking party, and he had no righteousness at all, so he immediately confessed Weng Hongnong. But even if he doesn't say it, Weng Hongnong can't escape. Just sending the house to Cao Guangjiu can't be explained, and the newspapers and periodicals are all from the Weng family's book-engraving workshop, and there are human and physical evidence in all aspects of production and marketing - the engraving plates are still there.

"It's true that villains are despicable and shameless and offended other people's articles, but these articles are really not written by villains." Cao Guangjiu knelt in the lobby with his head bareheaded, wearing white prison clothes, and cried hoarsely. He is no longer qualified to be called a "student", which makes him worse than dead.

Hai Rui also valued the evidence, knowing that the manuscript copied from Cao's family was signed "Shadow of the Remnant Moon under the Clouds in the Sky", and the handwriting did not match Cao Guangjiu's plain handwriting. Moreover, even if ordinary people hide their names and write some jokes, such as Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng and West Lake Yuyin's master, regardless of the number of words, they are still "numbers", and it is very rare to sign them directly with poems.

And this verse is also a little strange, neither of the ancients nor like of today.

"Who the hell is this waning moon shadow! Don't hurry up! Hai Rui was shocked, and the official Wei Hehe: "Don't force this court to torture!" ”

Cao Guangjiu often walks around the public gate, where he doesn't know the truth that he can't die under Miki. I haven't dealt with those servants, if I really use the punishment, even if I don't die, I will be crippled for life!

"The little one really doesn't know, every time he comes back, he wears a hat, and my family pays him over...... The villain really doesn't know. Cao Guangjiu knelt in the hall and cried. He has already explained everything, even Cai Guoxi's house slave instructed him to accuse Xu Ge Lao of 1510, but now it seems that he still can't escape the torture. Frightened and aggrieved, Cao Guang lay down on the bluestone slab in the lobby and cried bitterly, which was really sad and compassionate.

Although Li Shaoxian was very decisive in killing people, he couldn't bear to see people crying with his own eyes. He arched his hand towards Hai Rui and said, "Lian Xian, the lower officials have one or two bad opinions about this waning moon shadow. ”

"Please."

"It's kind of a mystery." Li Shaoxian was also a player when he was not an official, and frowned slightly: "If it is indeed an anagram, use the clutch technique to shoot, it should be the word 'Weng'." ”

How could Hai Rui have the interest in guessing charades, and wondered: "How is it a 'Weng' character?" ”

Li Shaoxian thought that Weng Hongnong believed in "Weng" in this case, and was already convinced that he had found the culprit, and explained carefully: "The so-called clutch technique is to separate and recombine the words on the puzzle. For example, 'the shadow of the waning moon under the clouds in the sky'. In the middle of 'emptiness' is 'eight', under 'cloud' is '厶', the waning moon is the character 'Xi', and the shadow is the character 'feather'. Isn't it just the word 'Weng' when put together? ”

Hai Rui stroked his long beard and said for a long time: "Since the person who wrote the main writer came to submit the article by hiding his whereabouts, why did he leave this secret mystery and reveal his identity?" ”

"It is reasonable to know that you are unsightly, but you are also full of self-satisfaction, so you use this crude method to leave a name." Li Shaoxian said without thinking.

Hai Jui is still skeptical.

When Cao Guangjiu heard this, he knew that he didn't have to endure hardships - he didn't have to suffer for the time being, and the whole person was paralyzed in the court.
